Additional Information:
"My
artwork reflects my interest in color, texture, and design. The
interplay of these elements can be seen in my prints and acrylic and
mixed-media paintings and drawings. Using an expressive style, I
produce work inspired by found objects such as ornamental grasses, by
other images from nature, and by digital photographs taken while
traveling.
I
primarily work in the following printmaking media: intaglio, etching,
photogravure, lithography, monotype, and screenprinting. I also paint
with acrylics and do mixed-media work."

Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking
or photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is coated with a
light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film
positive, and then etched, resulting in a high quality intaglio print
that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph.
